A
The U.S. does not provide 16 months of maternity leave. Federal law (FMLA) provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for eligible employees; paid leave provisions vary by employer and state. The other statements are generally supported by data (roughly ~25–26% of children live with a single parent, working mothers face a promotion/motherhood penalty, and low-income families often spend over 30% of income on child care).
